Macbook Keyboard not working in Bootcamp (XP SP2)

Hey all,
Booted into XP just now, have no Trackpad or Keyboard (on a Macbook so that's all there is...). Works fine in OS X.
Any advice? Searched, but all I could find was about external kb's.
Reinstall BC? Using 2.1 atm..
Cheers.

You should probably post your question in the Boot Camp forums:

  • New small WIRED keyboard not working with bootcamp

    Greetings from Stuttgart, Germany
    I just bought one of these new small WIRED keyboards for my macbook pro (early 2008/not unibody).
    It's working fine with OSX but not with my bootcamp vista business x64: the fn-key is not recognized. After inspecting the device manager I found out that the keyboard is not recognized as an Apple keyboard like my old one (with numeric keys).
    Afer updating bootcamp to version 2.1 I uninstalled the keyboard from the device manager, plugged it in again and it was still not recognized as an Apple Keyboard
    Is there a way to manually force vista to use apple keyborad driver? Or is there an update for bootcamp on its way to solve the problem?
    Best wishes,
    Wolfgang Gross

    UPDATE: a possible solution that is NOT working:
    in device manager, for both USB Human interface devices associated to the a hardware id (05AC/021E) of the keyboard:
    Update driver > browse my computer.. > let me pick.. > show compatible hardware.. > Apple Inc./Apple keyboard 2.1.0..
    Doesn't change the keyboard (mis-)behaviour

  • Macbook keyboard not working in X11

    I just installed arch on my macbook 2,1 and I got X11 to detect my screen, but the keyboard doesn't work. i.e. absolutly NO input.
    The only thing to do is to emergency shutdown. I haven't really done anything to my xorg.conf except set the keyboard model:
    Option "XkbModel" "madbook79"
    Any Ideas?

    I believe this will solve your problem: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xor … otplugging

  • My MacBook Pro keyboard not working correctly after Win7 bootcamp installation. In OSx boot it keep Win keyboard. How can I have Mac keyboard in OS boot and Win keyboard in Win boot?

    My MacBook Pro keyboard not working correctly after Win7 bootcamp installation.
    Installation went well but when I boot either with OSx or Win it always keeps Windows keyboard.
    How can I have Mac keyboard in OS boot and Win keyboard in Win boot?

    Hi - I have the exact same model as your MacBook and had a few questions as mine is acting up. I upgraded the ram to 8gb (2x 4GB ram) and ever since then my computer has not been running as smoothly and the start up time is horrendous. Have you encountered this problem? And if so how did you fix? What would you advise me do?
    I was thinking of reverting back to the original factory 4GB then rebooting the entire computer. Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance!

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

  • MacBook pro Keyboard not working after coffee spillage. Possible replacement?

    Hi there,
    4 days ago I spilled coffee (nescafe with sugar, no milk) over my Macbook (mid 2012 non-retina). I turned it off instantly and I've put it upside down. Then I opened it and I started to dry the notebook.
    I had few attempts to turn on over the weekend, only one successful, so I gave it a rest until today.
    Today I did complete teardown of the laptop with a friend, I sprayed all of the parts with special electronic-contact spray and I was able to turn it on sucessfully.
    However I figured out that when I turn the laptop with keyboard connected (regular MacBook keyboard, not external), then there were 90% chances that it will turn off before even booting.
    So I spilled ethanol over the keyboard few times, sprayed with the same spray, but no luck. It seems the keyboard is making some non-desired contacts with some electronic part.
    The laptop is working without a keyboard, but I would like to change it if possible.
    Is there a possibility to change the keyboard? I don't have official Apple store in my country, so I was thinking maybe ordering from ebay. Any suggestions on where I can order a keyboard?

    ==============
    Liquid Spill
    If you believe you’ve spilled anything (water, soda, trendy energy drink, etc.) on your Apple notebook, shut it down immediately, lest you continue short-circuiting your computer and thus blasting small holes through its components. Just because your computer works for a while after you’ve spilled liquid on it doesn’t mean you’re in the clear. Damage from liquid spills start out small and difficult to diagnose, and then over time spreads to become larger functional issues.
    The best thing to do in this case is to take your Mac to an Apple-authorized service center. But if you are feeling handy and are OK with voiding your AppleCare warranty (AppleCare does not cover accidental damage), you can clean your computer yourself. Unplug it, open it up, and disconnect the battery and all connections to the logic board. Then sit the open computer by a fan while gently scrubbing all sections of the logic board with cotton swabs and isopropyl alcohol. Clean both the top and bottom of the logic board if possible, then let the exposed MacBook dry in the path of the fan overnight before piecing everything back together and turning the computer back on. With any luck, the crisis will be over.

  • Wireless Network Not Working In Bootcamp

    I have an early 2006 MacBook Pro running on Snow Leopard and I just ran Bootcamp and installed Windows Xp Pro Service Pack 2. My wireless network adaptor is an Atheros AR5006X. I've installed the drivers in Windows from the Snow Leopard disc and the hardware is recognized, and wireless networks are detected. But I can't connect to any network. I've tried going into Advanced Settings, disabled firewall, I've tried manually setting it up as a preferred network, and I've tried a few other versions of the Atheros drivers from the Internet. Nothing has worked. It always says,
    "Windows is unable to connect to the selected network. The network may no longer be in range. Please refresh the list of available networks, and try to connect again."
    The signal strength can even be strong and it still won't connected. I never had this problem when I first used bootcamp with the same windows xp sp2, and with the original Leopard drivers disc that you burned when configuring bootcamp.
    Please help. Thanks.

    There are a number of discussions on this topic. In my previous response, I was referring to the first thread:
    Wireless Mouse and Keyboard Not Working in Boot Camp
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6415376&#6415376
    I got my wireless keyboard to work in Bootcamp/XP

    keyboard & mouse stop working after apple driver install
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6276210&#6276210
    It seems that the basic theme is that if you already installed the Leopard drivers, you will need a non-wireless (USB) keyboard to use/fix it. At this point, you will then need to go and setup the bluetooth to the wireless keyboard. My wireless mouse worked, so that was not a problem -- just the keyboard. I tried using the USB keyboard and seting up the bluetooth to the wireless keyboard, but I could not get it to recognize the bluetooth keyboard. It seems to recognize it for a brief instant, and then report and error.
    I've gotten tired of iterating over this issue, so I haven't read through all of the threads. There may be a better one out there that I've missed...

  • ExpressCard/34 not working in BootCamp Windows 7 64-bit. Apple's BIOS emulation does not give enough resources.

    MacBook Pro unibody, 15" 2009
    ExpressCard/34 (Card is by Transcend TS-RDF1, JMicron chip for SD card) is not working in BootCamp Windows 7 64-bit. Windows reports:
    "This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12)
    If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system."
    Other data points: Card works fine in Mac OSX, worked under Windows XP 32-bit (initially reported same problem, but works after reboot).
    Checking the forums there seems to be no actual device suggested to actually remove that would help the problem. And even if it was, the concept is ridiculous. What other device would you like to remove? Display adapter? Network adapter? No way. I use all available devices and don't want to compromise.
    It seems like BIOS emulation does not allocate enough resources to ExpressCard.
    Are others having the same problem?
    Does anyone have a fix for this?
    Is there anyone at Apple who cares to provide a solution?

    It is not a driver problem, but a problem in the BIOS emulated by bootcamp on some (not all) MBP models. So unless Apple fixes it in bootcamp, there is no real solution. And obviously, Apple doesn't care. They are dropping the Expresscard slot anyway.
    Unfortunately, this poster seems right: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=912259 :
    The 2008/2009 Macbook Pros don't allow to use the ExpressCard slot because of EFI/Bootcamp errors (Windows Vista/7 cannot allocate an IRQ to the slot). You don't need any drivers for using an ExpressCard slot on Windows, you only need the drivers for the corresponding card you are using.
    Bootcamped XP allowed to use the slot, but you could not use hot-plugging.
    And from the Sonnet site ( http://www.sonnettech.com/product/tempo_sata_express34.html ) :
    Tempo SATA ExpressCard/34 not supported under Windows 7 or Windows Vista when running on unibody MacBook Pro computers. The problem is caused by the MacBook Pro's BIOS emulation, which doesn't allocate enough resources to support certain kinds of Expresscard/34 devices, such as a SATA controller, in these operating systems.

  • The return button on my macbook is not working, any suggestions?

    the return button on my macbook is not working, any suggestions?

    By the way, if you are still interested, I found a solution. It's a bit crazy, but basically I have insulated the parts of the keyboard connector corresponding to the power button using some thin tape and then used a very thin wire going from the logicboard (where the test pads for startup are located) to my eject key, this way the original power button does not respond anymore and the eject key can be used as the power button, just like in the new Airs
    I can provide photos if you want.

  • Keyboard Not Working and Question Mark Folder on Startup

    I've got a question for a Mac Genius: What is the cause of my keyboard not working and a grayscreen coming up on startup? I'll give you a little background. I have a 1.83Ghz Macbook that is two years old now...almost exactly. I came back from work yesterday and it was in a semi-frozen state. Two apps were frozen but the finder was still alive. Within 10 seconds of trying to navigate through the Finder, it froze too. I went ahead and tried to restart it, but nothing happened. I held down the power button and it shut off. When I tried to start it back up a gray screen comes up. It makes the chiming sound but goes no where. After about half a minute the folder with the question mark will appear. The first few times I tried it, it seemed like the optical drive was trying really hard to work, but it doesn't try so hard anymore. None of the keys work and the Caps Lock and Num Lock don't light, so I can't use any of the keyboard commands to work my way around (resetting PRAM/using startup disks). The CD is stuck in it because I can't force eject it. I believe the trackpad is also not working, but I couldn't be sure.
    Previously I had noticed that when I came back from work I would find Mozilla Firefox using tons of the CPU when it wasn't really doing anything. This heated up the computer and made the fans spin at crazy speeds(6000RPM). I will try the Hard drive in another computer tonight probably because I'm pretty sure that's not the problem, but I would like to be sure.
    Any ideas would be helpful! I'm just about to tear it open and see if anything has been physically fried.

    I went ahead and tried to eject the CD with an external mouse but it didn't work. What I ended up doing is swapping my hard drive into my friend's computer and discovered that that was the only problem. It appears that my HDD was totally fried because after I booted off of the start-up cd, the HDD was nowhere to be found within disk utility. My computer starts up fine and the keyboard works fine when I have someone else's HDD in mine. I'm really surprised that the Macbook needs a good HDD to operate it's trackpad and keyboard. Thank you for your help! Although now I have a new question; is there any way to salvage the data trapped on my old HDD? Cheers!

    Does the keyboard work fine inside the BIOS?
    Also try booting from LiveCD of Ubuntu, if issue remains then the keyboard is faulty.

    Each version of Extension Manager only installs/manages extensions for the same suite of products. EM CS6 only installs extensions for DW CS6. To install extensions for DW CS5, you should launch EM CS5 to install it. Note that you have to update EM CS5 to 5.0.3 before you launch EM CS5 in Mac 10.8, otherwise EM CS5 will crash due to Mac API change. You can use Adobe Application Manager to update EM CS5 or download and run http://download.macromedia.com/pub/dw_exchange/extension_manager/mac/AdobeExtensionManager _5_0_3_mul_AdobeUpdate.dmg which can be found at http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/.
